The Kwara state government has commended the contingent to this year's Quranic memorisation competition held in Katsina state for their brilliant performance.
The government in a statement issued by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Alhaji Isiaka Gold, gave the commendation yesterday  while receiving the committee in his office.

The statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary, Alhaji Dauda Nurudeen, quoted the SSG as describing the  performance of the contingent as a brilliant feat which has made the state proud  of them and would continue to support them in winning more laurels in the future.

The state government, according to him attached great importance to the committee's assignment especially at this time when youths engaged in anti-social vices and appealed to the trainers to put in more effort in re-shaping our youths.

Earlier, the state chairman of the committee, Alhaji Ayinla Ayilara Abdulsalam, said the committee was established in 1986 with the aim of promoting Islam and training the youth in the art of memorising  the Holy Quran.

Alhaji Abdulsalam, who was represented by Alhaji Woli Kamaldeen, expressed the committee's appreciation to the Kwara state government for the support it has been enjoying.
